Purposes: The purposes of this study were to investigate the optical, structural and electrical properties of the antimony doped tin oxide(ATO) thin films according to certain variable deposition conditions, such as RF input power and T-S (target-substrate) distance change, using transparent conducting oxide (TCO). Methods: ATO thin films of Sb concentration ratio with $SnO_2:Sb_2O_5$ = 95:5 wt% were deposited at room temperature by RF magnetron sputtering method. Results: ATO thin films were most sensitive to the RF input power: light transmittance was 78% at RF input power of 30W, and 0.56 nm for the surface roughness and 1007 $\Omega{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ for the sheet resistance as well. Conclusions: It was found that ATO thin films were showed the large change in its characteristics of structural, optical and electrical properties which were affected by T-S distance and RF input power.

This paper used RF Magnetron Sputtering to deposition n-type and p-type to ITO glass. The N-type ohmic contact worked well under all conditions. Sheet resistance has been shown to increase sheet resistance as RF Power increases. After analyzing the surface of the deposited thin film, in the condition that RF Power was 250W and substrate temperature was $250^{\circ}C$, particles were measured to have a uniform and consistent thin film. P-type has good ohmic contact under all conditions and sheet resistance has been shown to increase as RF Power increases. As the RF Power grew, thickness increased and stabilized. PN junction thin film and NP junction thin film showed increased thickness and stabilized as sputtering time increased. As a result of thin film, conversion efficiency was at 0.2 when sputtering time was 10 minutes.

비정질 산화물 반도체(Amorphous Oxide Smeiconcuctor)를 이용하여 투명 박막 트랜지스터의 채널층으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 투명 박막 트랜지스터의 채널층으로 사용되고 있는 IGZO박막은 비정질임에도 불구하고 높은 이동도와 넓은 밴드갭을 갖고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 RF magnetron sputtering법으로 유리기판 위에 IGZO박막을 증착시켰으며 소결된 타겟으로는 In:Ga:ZnO를 각각 1:1:2mol%의 조성비로 혼합하여 이용하였으며, $30{\times}30mm$의 XG Glass 유리기판에 sputtering 방식으로 증착하였다. 박막 증착 조건은 초기압력 $3.0{\times}10^{-6}Torr$, 증착 압력 20mTorr, 반응가스 Ar 25sccm, 공정 변수로는 RF Power 25W, 50W, 75W, 100W 각각 변화를 주어 실험을 진행 하였으며, 증착온도는 실온으로 고정 하였다. 분석 결과로 RF Power 25W 일 때 XRD 분석결과 Bragg's 법칙을 만족하는 피크가 나타나지 않는 비정질 구조임을 확인하였으며, AFM 분석결과 0.5 mm 이하의 Roughness를 가졌다.

RF magnetron co-sputtering을 이용하여 RF power 및 공정 압력에 따라 GZO 및 IGZO 박막을 유리기판 위에 제작하고 투명전극으로 구조적, 광학적, 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 박막 증착 조건의 초기 압력은 $1.0{\times}10^{-6}Torr$, 증착온도는 상온으로 고정하였으며 기판은 Corning 1737 유리기판을 사용하였다. 소결된 타겟으로 ZnO, $In_2O_3$ 및 $Ga_2O_3$을 이용하였으며, 각각의 타겟은 독립 된 RF파워를 변화시키며 투명전극의 성분비를 조절하였으며, 증착 압력은 10 m에서 100 mTorr까지, 기판과의 거리는 25 mm에서 65 mm까지 변화시키며 박막을 제작하였다. 유리기판 위에 불순물이 첨가된 모든 ZnO 박막에서 (002) 면의 우선배향성이 관찰되었고, 3.4eV에서 3.5eV 정도의 광학적 밴드갭을 가지며 80% 이상의 투과율을 나타내었다. GZO 박막의 경우 증착 조건에 따라 투명전극에 요구되는 $5*10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$ 이하의 전기적특성을 가짐을 보였으며, gallium 성분이 0%에서 6%로 증가함에 따라 3.3eV에서 3.5eV로 blue-shift하였으며, 비저항은 0.02에서 $0.005{\Omega}cm$로 낮아졌으며 이동도는 $4.7cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$에서 $2.7cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$로 보이며 GZO 물질이 투명전극으로서 기존의 ITO 물질 대체 가능성을 확인하였다. IGZO 박막은 In과 Ga의 함량에 따라 저항률의 변화가 크게 나타났으며, In의 함량이 많을수록 이동도, 캐리어 농도의 증가로 저항률은 감소하였다.

Generally, diamond-like carbon films (a-C:H, DLC) have been shown to have a low coefficient of friction, a high hardness and a low wear rate. Pd-doped C thin film was fabricated using a dual magnetron sputtering with two targets of graphite and palladium. Graphite target RF power was fixed and palladium target RF power was varied. The structural, physical, and surface properties of the deposited thin film were investigated, and the correlation among these properties was examined. The doping ratio of Pd increased as the RF power increased, and the surface roughness of the thin film decreased somewhat as the RF power increased. In addition, the hardness value of the thin film increased, and the adhesive strength was improved. It was confirmed that the value of the contact angle indicating the surface energy increases as the RF power increases. It was concluded that the increase in RF power contributed to the improvement of the physical properties of Pd-doped C thin film.

Aluminum nitride(AlN) thin films were deposited on silicon substrate by reactive RF magnetron sputtering without substrate heating. We investigated the dependence of some properties for AlN thin film on sputtering conditions such as working pressure, $N_2$ concentration and RF power. XRD, Ellipsometer and AES has been measured to find out structural properties and preferred orientation of AlN thin films. Deposition rate of AlN thin film was increased with an increase of RF power and decreased with an increase of $N_2$ concentration. AES in-depth measurements showed that stoichiometry of Aluminium and Nitrogen elements were not affected by $N_2$ concentration. It has shown that low working pressure, low $N_2$ concentration and high RF power should be maintained to deposit AlN thin film with a high degree of (0002) preferred orientation.

The BLT thin-films were one of the promising ferroelectric materials with a good leakage current and degradation behavior on Pt electrode. The BLT target was sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours at the air ambient. $Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$ (BLT) thin-film deposited on $Pt/Ti/SIO_2/Si$ wafer by rf magnetron sputtering method. At annealed $700^{\circ}C$, (117) and (006) peaks appeared the high intensity. The hysteresis loop of the BLT thin films showed that the remanent polarization ($2Pr=Pr^+-Pr^-$) was $16uC/cm^2$ and leakage current density was $1.8{\times}10^{-9}A/cm^2$ at 50 kV/cm with coersive electric field when BLT thin-films were annealed at $700^{\circ}C$. Also, the thin film showed fatigue property at least up to $10^{10}$ switching bipolar pulse cycles under 7 V. Therefore, we induce access to optimum fabrication condition of memory device application by rf-magnetron sputtering method in this report.

Low temperature processed ZnO-TFTs on glass below $270^{\circ}C$ for plastic substrate applications were fabricated and their electrical properties were investigated. Films in ZnO-TFTs with bottom gate configuration were made by RF magnetron sputtering system except for $SiO_2$ gate oxide deposited by ICP-CVD. ZnO channel films were grown on glass with various Ar and $O_2$ flow ratios. All of the fabricated ZnO-TFTs showed perfectly the enhancement mode operation, a high optical transmittance of above 80% in visible ranges of the spectrum. In the ZnO-TFTs with pure Ar process, the field effect mobility, threshold voltage, and on/off ratio were measured to be $1.2\;cm^2/Vs$, 8.5 V, and $5{\times}10^5$, respectively. These characteristic values are much higher than those of the ZnO-TFTs of which ZnO channel layers were processed with additional $O_2$ gas. In addition, ZnO-TFT with pure Af process showed smaller swing voltage of 1.86v/decade compared to those with $Ar+O_2$ process.

In this paper, we have investigated about MgO thin films on Si(100) substrate by RF magnetron Sputtering. MgO thin films were affected by RF input power, gas pressure, gas composition, and substrate temperatures. So, we focused on most effective RF input power in deposition condition. Thickness of MgO thin films was measured by surface profiler. And structural analysis carried out by X-ray Diffraction(XRD). physical characteristic and thickness of thin films changed with RF input power.
